I have ants. Teeny tiny little ones. I’ve tried sprays, repellents, traps. The sprays only work if I spray the ants directly. The repellants don’t work at all. They ignore the traps. They just won’t go away.
I was finally able to stop a seasonal invasion by leaving out gel/bait. They formed columns to it and were talking it back under the house for like a week.
This year so far no sign of them and all of the ant hills around the yard also seem dead. I think it was a single huge colony.
That’s not very encouraging: I’m battling those now. Ive been constrained by kids and a dog so I haven’t want to use sprays…… yesterday, I sprayed the exterior with ant spray, and the interior where they’ve been with clove oil,so we’ll see. This morning there are fewer fwiw
My son is terrified of bugs. He buys a peppermint spray that actually works on most things and doesn’t bother his kitties. He also uses diatomaceous earth. https://a.co/d/gJByZA5

Have you tried boric acid? I originally used it for cockroaches but I’ve also had success with ants (regular ones, not teeny tiny little ones :) ).
Have you identified the ants? That should help.

Have you considered getting an anteater as a pet?

Pharao ants?
